Kayvon Thibodeaux just made the biggest highlight play of the offseason -- he just bought his mom a new house ... and her reaction is priceless!!
The 2022 first-round pick to the New York Giants posted a video to his YouTube channel on Monday ... showing off the new crib he gifted his mom. In the clip, Thibodeaux explained why the purchase meant so much to him.
"When I was in high school, I had to live with another family," Thibodeaux said in the video. "After that, I went to college ... Five years of my life I never had dinner with my mom. We never sat at a table with my family, we never had a place for all the family to get together for Christmas and for holidays when the time came. Now being able to provide that is a blessing."
The pad comes with all the works -- the backyard is decked out with a basketball court, a pool with a waterfall and a nice view of the hills of California.
As you would expect … Thibodeaux's mom, Shawnta Loice, is quite emotional during the reveal, commenting on how nice her new place is and saying what a blessing the past few years have been.
Thibodeaux took to Twitter as well … thanking the Giants for believing in him to make this opportunity possible.
"It started with a dream, turned it into a goal," he said. "Love you Mom, you deserve the world! #assetsoverliabilities Thank you @Giants for believing in me!"
A feel-good moment that tugs at the heartstrings … and we're sure a housewarming party is on the horizon!!

Keshia Knight Pulliam My Baby Boy is Here Happy Birthday to Me!!!
Keshia Knight Pulliam's family is growing, and her latest addition to the brood has impeccable timing.
Keshia, AKA Rudy from "The Cosby Show", chose Sunday -- her birthday, BTW -- to announce she'd given birth to her second child. She shared a playful vid from the hospital bed with her husband Brad James, who was still in scrubs.
It's a cute moment ... Brad really seems to get into character saying "this is how grown people play doctor" before asking his wife about her symptoms and diet.
KKP wrote, "With this little one we are complete… Happy Birthday to me!!! What an eventful birthday week… 😆," Pulliam wrote on Instagram. "Thank you for the birthday wishes!! 😘"
It's unclear if she actually birthed the baby on her birthday, or just prior to Sunday ... Keshia's post wasn't that specific.
The vid ended with a photo with the entire family ... including Keshia's 6-year-old daughter Ella, who she shares with her ex, Edgerton Hartwell, and the newborn.

Prince Louis Hopping Along to Mass for Easter ... 1st Public Holiday Outing
Prince Louis has crossed a Royal threshold -- going to church on Easter with his family ... something his older siblings didn't do publicly until just last year, so he's got 'em beat.
The youngest child of Prince William and Kate Middleton -- who's 4, but turning 5 later this month -- was seen out with the whole brood Sunday as the Wales crew made their way to mass to celebrate the holy day ... with everyone color coordinating in crisp, blue outfits.
Louis looked well-behaved as he held onto his mom and dads' hands while coming to and leaving St. George's Chapel. He even shook hands with the priest ... which was pretty cute to see.
It's interesting that he made his big debut at such a young age -- you see, Prince George and Princess Charlotte only got out there for the first time last year at ages 8 and 6, respectively. Despite PL's history of acting out, it would seem Will and Kate trusted him.
From the looks of it, Lou put on his big-boy pants shorts and kept it together through what is undoubtedly a boring holiday for little ones ... at least when an egg hunt's not in play.
Well done, young prince. You've caught on to Royal life quite quickly ... suck it up, wave and smile.

It's been nearly 3 weeks since Amanda Bynes was first admitted to a mental health hospital, and while her release date is still undetermined ... those around her are already formulating a plan to make sure she stays on the right path.
Sources close to the actress tell us both Amanda and the medical staff have been taking her stay week by week. We're told she's not being forced to stay at the facility but doesn't quite feel ready to leave yet. When she is, though, she'll enroll in an outpatient mental health treatment program.
Our sources say because Amanda is no longer under a conservatorship -- which ended in 2022 after 9 years -- she can make her own medical decisions.
Amanda has worked with the medical staff to ensure she's supported when she gets out, and an outpatient program will keep her on track ... meeting with doctors and specialists.
While we're told reports that Amanda's parents have been by her side through the hospital stay are not true ... our sources say her parents do still support her in any way they can.
TMZ broke the story -- Bynes was found naked and wandering L.A. streets early in the morning last month. She flagged down a vehicle and called 911 to report she was having a psychotic episode and needed help. She was admitted to the hospital on a psych hold, and has remained there since then.
While there's no set date for her release, we're told there's hope she'll be well enough to get out in the next week ... though nothing's certain yet.

Heather Graham No Regrets Not Having Kids ... I Feel Free & Fulfilled
Heather Graham says she's A-OK with the fact that she doesn't have children ... something she feels like most women haven't been able to say up until recently.
The star dished her thoughts on the subject to People, telling them ... "I think we all have different paths. You just have to embrace the one that you're on. If, somehow, I had had kids, I'm sure that would've been cool."
She adds, "But at the moment, not having kids, I do feel free. And I get a lot of sleep. That is pretty great."
HG also had this to say about the notion of being able to own the fact one might not want little ones, especially as a woman ... "I do feel like as a woman, culturally, you're not allowed to say, 'I didn't want to have kids. Because it's like, what's wrong with you?'"
She finishes her thought by saying, "I think as a man it's like, oh yeah, cool, you didn't want to have kids. Now, women are getting more free to just make their own choices."
Graham says she believes if she was meant to have kids, she would've. Instead, she focuses on film/TV projects, which she says she views as her "little kids." She finishes by saying she's fulfilled with her life and happy with the journey she's chosen as an actress in Hollywood.
Heather's never been married, but has been in relationships with the likes of James Woods, Heath Ledger, Adam Ant and Israeli screenwriter Yaniv Raz -- whom she dated for 7 years.

Jeremy Renner Hits Up Six Flags w/ Fam ... Just 3 Months After Near-Death Accident
Jeremy Renner continues to amaze ... he's gone from an ever-so-close near-death experience to Six Flags ... in just a few months!
Jeremy took his fam to Six Flags on Good Friday ... and tooled around the park on a motorized scooter.
He posted the pics and video with the caption, "Leading the way Best I can Spring Break 2023!!!" ... adding, "Good Friday, made magic happen on the mountain with some of my amazing family!"
Jeremy's come back to the L.A. area where he's recovering at home ... this just three months after he was run over by a snowplow on New Year's Day. His injuries were massive ... more than 30 broken bones, a punctured liver, a collapsed lung and a lot more.
The 'Avengers' star described the pain and the enormity of the injuries to Diane Sawyer, and the animation that was created to show how he was run over is bone-chilling.
Jeremy said the snowplow began to slide, and he worried his nephew might be crushed between the plow and another vehicle, so he stepped out of the cab and put his foot on the track to look, only to fall to the ground. He believed his nephew might get crushed so he jumped back onto the track, but it was moving and sucked him under, running him over.
He looks great, and all signs point to a miraculous recovery!

Diamond Dallas Page Cody's WM39 Match Nearly Brought Me To Tears ... Dusty Would Be Proud

Diamond Dallas Page says he was overcome with emotion watching Cody Rhodes fight Roman Reigns for the WWE Undisputed Universal Championship at WrestleMania ... and tells TMZ Sports despite Cody coming up short, he knows he'll eventually win the title.
We spoke to DDP at LAX on Wednesday ... and the king of the Diamond Cutter told us he thinks Cody losing to Roman on "The Grandest Stage of Them All" will make him even more popular amongst WWE fans.
"When you're really over ... When it's done right [and] when the people are behind it, it doesn't matter who wins or loses," Page said. "He went and made AEW. Came back to here [WWE]. They were so happy to have him back because they knew what a talent he was."
"I couldn't be any prouder of the cat," Page added. "Very emotional for me."
Of course, some wrestling fans were confused by WWE's decision to keep the title on Reigns instead of giving it to Cody, who won the Royal Rumble in January -- but Page believes it's inevitable Rhodes becomes WWE champ ... explaining this is a part of the process.
Page feels Cody has no reason to be disappointed he didn't win Sunday. DDP said Cody's father, Dusty Rhodes, is proud of his performance in the main event against Reigns, who needed help from The Bloodline and Paul Heyman to defeat the American Nightmare.
DDP praised Cody for how he responded after tearing his pectoral muscle last summer before a match against Seth Rollins ... and for rehabbing as hard as possible to put himself in a position to be in the main event at WrestleMania.
Page also lauded Reigns -- who's held the Universal Championship for over 900 days -- calling the Tribal Chief "one of the greatest champions of all time" and saying he knows the day will come when Rhodes finally dethrones Roman, but "it's going to take time."

XXXTentacion's killers will spend the rest of their lives behind bars, and as far as the rapper's mother is concerned ... they better sleep with one eye open, as they'll be massive targets.
Michael Boatwright, Trayvon Newsome and Dedrick Williams each received sentences of life without parole Thursday for their roles in the 2018 robbery and shooting death of XXX.
XXX's mom, Cleopatra, tells us she believes the sentence was more than appropriate given her son was murdered at just 20 years old. She says Boatwright taunted her throughout the trial by blowing kisses. She hopes "Buttright (not a typo) will now get the kiss he wants so bad."
She also has a message for Newsome and Williams ... "My hope for these other gentlemen is they will retain a firm grasp on the slippery soap."
It's very clear, Cleopatra believes the men will be targets, and you can't blame her for her anger toward them ... especially given the circumstances surrounding the crime.
TMZ broke the story, XXX was ambushed in his vehicle in broad daylight outside of a South Florida auto shop, shooting him and stealing a Louis Vuitton bag and $50,000 in cash.
XXX's career was on a positive trajectory, and the outpouring of love and support from his fans was huge after his murder.

Michael K. Williams Nephew Reacts to Heroin Dealer's Guilty Plea ... Hope He Finds God In Prison

Michael K. Williams' family is trying to move on from the trauma they've endured since his overdose, and his nephew says that process includes hoping the heroin dealer who sold the fatal batch to Michael finds help behind bars.
The late 'Wire' star's nephew, Dominic Dupont, tells TMZ ... the dealer's going to need God and everything that comes with believing in a higher power to make it through a lengthy prison sentence.
As we reported ... 39-year-old Irvin Cartagena pled guilty Wednesday to one count of conspiring to distribute drugs in connection to Michael's fatal 2021 overdose ... cutting a plea deal in exchange for a prison term between five and 40 years.
Dominic found his famous uncle dead from an overdose in the actor's Brooklyn apartment, and he watched Wednesday as Cartagena entered his plea.
He says Cartagena is likely to spend decades in a cage because of poor choices, and hopes he uses the time to get himself together.
For Dominic, justice in Michael's death is complicated. He says he's an advocate for justice -- just as his uncle was -- but adds, "People have to be held accountable and responsible for the decisions they make."
Michael's nephew says Wednesday's court proceedings amounted to a sad day for the family ... and there are no winners in this situation because nothing will bring back Michael.
Moving forward, Dominic says society needs to do a better job helping people dealing with addiction, as well as finding successful ways to reduce the influx of drugs on America's streets.
He says folks dealing with substance abuse need help so they don't end up like the countless others who've died from fentanyl, as Michael did.

Kim K & North TikTok Account Disappears ... North's Just Not Feelin' It

Exclusive Details

4:10 PM PT -- After about an hour, the account is back up ... but our sources say North is still taking a break for the time being.
Kim Kardashian and North West's popular TikTok page has seemingly disappeared, and while it may only be temporary, there's also a chance it could be gone for good ... TMZ has learned.
Fans were stunned to see a message reading, "Couldn't find this account" when they tried to visit the page Thursday. However, a family source shed a little more light on what happened, telling us this was a decision made by North ... she just wants to try something new.
The source says, "North has been more interested in focusing her creativity in other areas lately and is taking a break from TikTok. Like most kids, interests change often, so she may be back on as early as tomorrow — or never again."
Of course, North was just as much (if not more) of a driving factor behind the account than Kim, so it makes sense to shut down if she's not feeling it.
Kim recently took her kids on a trip to Japan, so maybe it's possible North found some new creative inspiration abroad ... and decided to ditch the app.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
The @kimandnorth account has not only racked up millions of followers since its launch, it's also been a spot for big-time celeb guest appearances ... including most recently Ice Spice.

Ben Affleck Describes 'Air' In Fluent Spanish ... Internet Says Ay Dios Mio!!!
Here's a big shocker from señor Ben Affleck, who's breaking down his new movie, "Air" ... in perfect Spanish!!!
Ben threw social media into a tizzy Thursday as a lot of folks were shocked to learn he's bilingual ... despite the fact it's something of an open secret.
Ben sat down with El Cine En La Ser for an interview about his film ... explaining why Michael Jordan himself doesn't appear in the movie about his groundbreaking Nike contract.
If ya don't have the gift of gab en español, fear not, we did the translation, and Ben says there's not an actor in the world who could make an audience believe they're MJ, so the movie tells the story without focusing on Michael.
Still, Ben says he wouldn't have made the movie without Mike's blessing, which is why he had a sit down with the legend ... who told him the most important parts of the story were nailing 3 characters ... Howard White, George Raveling and MJ's own mother.
It's funny ... Ben says Jordan told him they had to get Viola Davis to play his mom, which Ben jokes is like asking someone to play basketball and they will only do so if MJ's on their team.
Ben's explained the same stuff in English, but it's impressive to hear him say it in Spanish -- which, btw, he learned in his youth ... pre-J Lo.
Bien hecho, Ben!!!
